  • We acquired a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Cranbrook and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Cranbrook for asking price of 125k, which has 68 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I am the owner of a purpose-built flat based in a small block in Cranbrook. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a ninety five year lease which commenced from 2nd January 1969 with a non-reviewable yearly rent of 35. I wish to obtain a lease extension. Can I talk with someone to go through my options please?
  • My conveyancers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • I'm hoping for some assistance concerning extending the lease on my maisonette. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • My son is aware that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
